Zennie! Just as you mention wanting change for District 1, doesn't District 3 deserve change? I'd love some examples of how you see NN "getting better", because in my six years of being actively involved in the community, I've definately seen her get worse. I've endorsed Greg Hodge, although I think Sean Sullivan would be fine - he's a wild card, imho, but as I've said since last October - ANYONE BUT NANCY NADEL. Cheers, Joanna

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format.
